For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Ephesians 5:9-10

 In my career as a park ranger, one of the goals to providing a quality recreation experience was to manage the people who came to our parks and campgrounds. As recreation trends changed (and the toys they brought), we had to implement new rules to maintain a level of service all people could enjoy. Yes, some argued with new rules, but at the end of the day, many were happy, safe, and had a great outdoor experience.

 Things in life change: society standards, laws, and how people interact with one another. Some are good and some are not so good. As a child of God, it’s paramount that you maintain an acceptable standard that is God approved. An example would be the attire ladies wear to Prom. Lately we’ve seen these dresses tighter and expose more skin than what’s covered. You’ve got to ask, is what I’m wearing going to honor God or will it ignite a fire of hormones for the boy I’m dating. And truthfully, guys should consider the same for their attire: is it respectful and appropriate for the special occasion. Adult men and women should always check their behavior, thoughts and words spoken in public (and social media).

 What you are doing might be ok by society’s standards, but the true standard is administered by God through His Holy word. In these changing times (and they are happening rapidly), it’s always best to stay in God’s word and consult the bible when making life decisions. God will bless you for staying the course of His morals and character traits. God bless!
